How good looking is that Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1990? Aged for 25 years in a combination of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso casks, this is essentially an extra, extra, aged Glenmorangie 18… so would that make this Extra Exceptionally Rare? I got to try this Grand Vintage 1990 at a private tasting, but was lucky enough […]

Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1996 is the sixth release in their Bond House No. 1 Collection, a series focusing on specific vintages of whisky that get bottled “at their remarkable best”. They like to say that each of these whiskies has a unique story to tell but this one is more of a continuation of a […]

Back in 2013 Glenmo sent out bottles of experimental whisky to bloggers, writers and other whisky folks; this Glenmorangie Cask Masters “A” Grand Cru Burgundy Finish was one of the three in the kits. B was a an ex-Grand Cru Bordeaux and C was an ex-Manzanilla. At a private tasting I was able to try […]

Glenmorangie Signet is their ultra-premium core release. It uses a high amount of chocolate malt, is only distilled once a year and the cask management to create it is quite involved. The notes I have from a deeply nerdy tasting says it goes something like this. Like almost everything at Glenmo, they start by filling […]

Glenmorangie 19 Years Finest Reserve comes from their best casks of ex-Bourbon whisky. No sherry, no wine, no port, nothing but extra-aged, giraffe/swan neck distilled spirit in its purest form. If you really want to get to know extra-aged Glenmo, this is the one. As you might be able to tell from the photo, the […]

Glenmorangie 18 Years Extremely Rare is kind of like the intro to the Glenmo Prestige Expressions and for a long time it was one of the best deals in super-premium Scotch on the market. It was only 4 or 5 years ago I could still walk into K&L and pick it up for $100 ($110 […]

This barrel select Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac Finish is unlike most of the finished whiskies Glenmo puts out because it didn’t start life as the traditional Glenmo 10. Shocking I know, but this whisky only spent 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks before being transferred to ex-Cognac casks to finish it’s maturation. But not just any […]

The original Glenmorangie Astar was released in 2008. This is the re-release from 2017 and you can, kinda, think of it as a cask strength version of The Original 10, but with a twist. That twist being the exact casks used. The wood used for the Astar comes from trees in the Ozark Mountains of […]

The Blood and Sand cocktail is probably the second most iconic Scotch cocktail around. The obvious title-owner is the Rob Roy, though I think that crown might be slipping. In recent years, I haven’t seen many bars or restaurants touting their Rob Roys, but it seems like everywhere has a Blood and Sand, a Penicillin, […]

We’ve hit quite a few classic American Whiskey cocktails already, so I thought it would be nice if we turned our cocktail shakers towards classic Scotch cocktails for a bit and nothing is more classic than the Rob Roy. Created in 1894 at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC as a tribute to an opera of […]
